Hi Dax,

I understand that you are trying to create a running tally of a column in a table in Word 2003. Unfortunately, Word does not have the same automatic calculation capabilities as Excel, but there is a workaround that you can use.

You can use a formula field to calculate the sum of the column and update it automatically as new data is entered. Here are the steps to create the formula field:

1. Click on the cell where you want the running tally to appear.
2. Press Ctrl+F9 to insert a pair of field braces.
3. Type "=SUM(ABOVE)" (without the quotes) inside the field braces.
4. Press F9 to update the field.

Now, whenever you add new data to the column, the running tally will update automatically. You can also copy and paste the formula field to other cells in the same column to create additional running tallies.
